Not with my ass driving! I'll watch the videos but unless I'm at the track I won't be testing the top end on my car.
I hear ya Sarge and I can fully understand where you're coming from! When my car was stock, I hit 155 twice but now with 516/500 to the ground and the limiter raised I haven't attempted to do that again. I don't know what it is but this extra power definitely got me intimidated. Probably because I know the extra power can take me well over the 155 and the fear of something going wrong keeps me grounded. Plus still being on the stock suspension with just rear drag bags and drag springs, keeps me from getting to crazy.

At your horsepower range yes that would be increased pucker factor at times. I do some quick short runs but beyond 120 for a few short seconds is my limit. I do have fun with the car. Just don't want to be behind bars. The wife would probably leave me there! LOL.

cars are like ships. even destroyers with missiles and anti-aircraft guns are still "shes". now Mustangs, maybe. i guess they might be boys because boy racers seem to like them...

LMAO.. If your going to own a gto, I think you should do your homework... Look at the history. lol The GTO is a "he"... Look up all the past nicknames. No where were girls names lol..... but if you want to call your gto a girl, well thats your call. But I would never down grade mine, by calling him a her.. hahah but this is about topspeed so lets stick to topic....
He's got 47 more rwhp than you Eric so that statement isn't true. Well, not true in this case. With your 360 rwhp you shouldn't have a problem hitting 170. Some have claimed to hit 170 stock.
I was just being sarcastic.

I know Im sounding like a prick at this point...BUT...calling a car a "he" is incorrect grammar. In the english language it is grammatically correct to refer to all cars with female pronouns. Secondly, why is referring to your car as a girl DOWNGRADING it?? Are you a sexist, sir?
On topic though...the fastest ive been in mine is about 140. That is the fastest Ive ever been in a car so I dont have anything to compare it too. I have no idea how much more shes got in her, but she is certainly still pulling at that speed.
